About Me

I'm a stay at home mom to the two most adorable girls in the world and wife to my favorite computer geek. I am rapidly passing thirty and still waiting for some small amount of wisdom that is supposed to come with age. Maybe another 30 years will do it.

Outside the Chaos

You're from outta town, aren't ya?

I just found out that I'm going to coach Lolly's soccer team. As you can probably tell, I'm not "athletically inclined". Pray for me. Actually, pray for the kids. I have no idea what I'm doing.

**CG wants to get me a t-shirt that says Coach on it. I think it will need an iron on of angel wings on the back. Lolly has decided that I need a whistle in order to be a coach. I think I'll probably need an electronic device to make my voice much louder in order for the kids to actually hear me.

Sounds fun! Basically you help regulate who brings the treat, make sure everyone gets a turn playing and just lots of praising. They will all run after the ball and kick it into everyone's goal, making goals for other teams is pretty common trying to get them to make it to their own goal is another story. Taylor and Katelyn have lots of fun playing soccer this season. Taylor is in the kindergarten group, they basically learned how to kick the ball, dribble and the basic rules (our referees helped out with all the basics). Everyone is learning and just running around a lot. You get to be the cheerleader and teacher for the most part when they're so young, at least that is how it has worked out for us. Good luck! We've had fun!

SUCKER!!! Ha ha ha. I totally feel for you. I really enjoyed coaching Trace. At first I tried to come up with practice drills and game plans, then I realized they all just want to run and kick the ball. Relax and enjoy it. I got a whistle and I recommend it. I LOVE the idea of the angel wings. Now I wish I had gotten around to signing up Trace. You will do a fabulous job. We will have to get together and sip diet cokes and share coaching stories.....

Okay my first response was "seriously?" I didn't think our DNA supported the coaching of organized sports! I'm proud of you Hoosh! My only advice is to make sure all dandilions are all picked before the game starts! And get ready to laugh! It's so funny to watch them run around chasing each other more than the ball!

A womans worth is not defined by the cleanliness of her kitchen!

"We have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove anything, to be what we are." Marjorie Pay Hinckley

So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life's a great balancing act. Dr. Suess
